Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: BikeSmart at every 2 months against VeloTrax's every 4 months. BikeSmart also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
